This week? AdGuard Home to block ads network-wide. Optimizing it so I can compare it to my Pi-Hole to see which I prefer. We'll see what obsession next week holds.

hello fellow ADHD homelab homie
rn I have some time off so I’m attempting to force all my random code project repos to use the same structure. Paying down the tech debt at last
The first comment is about DNS in a homelab. This is fantastic, thank you
I still have both for different reasons (probably ADHD reasons), but Adguard Home Sync is easier to setup for muli instances than syncing pihole. I
I need desktop / homescreen wallpaper that is minimalist enough to not be distracting and yet is more complex than a flat color or gradient. And a single one in place will bug me after a time, so I borrowed a bunch of powerpoint tech backdrops.
Thank you for sharing. I enjoy this fact about you.
Perhaps you'd like metro frutiger aesthetic?
Or maybe Android Marshmallow's wallpaper
Thank you for pointing me toward Metro Frutiger! Not quite my style but certainly a starting point for research!
Why do those little pieces of skin keep sticking up next to my fingernails. (Not cuticles / hangnails, the skin next to the nails)
I tend to bite them and tear them off hoping they don't act like a zipper and all of me will pour out
Cosplay and dinosaurs/prehistoric reptiles. I'm the girl that attends anime conventions in handmade, intricate costumes; then go to a fossil and gem and point out which mosasaur jaws, trilobites, and shark teeth are fake. Here's a silly collage combining the two. Dr. Sattler and 'Dog'ter Grant. That's my medical alert dog.
tiny sounds.
there is something so mesmerizing by hearing some small, almost universally ignored sounds. when stillness is interrupted by the soft rustle of paper, or I can hear some innocuous bug doing it's thing. I also love the sound of animals chewing, but hate how humans sound when they do it. I once sat in detention at school, the room was so quiet. a fly landed on my desk, and I could hear it clean itself. it was so surreal. How many others have heard that sound?
It's some people's jobs to create/recreate and record those sounds for TV, games, and other media. I believe they're called foley artists.
yeah! and the job was named after it's most prolific artist, Jack Foley! I tell ya, if I could be a fly on the wall of a Foley Artist... Man... that'd be cool
I'll never be able to hold a candle to my grandma, but planting seeds and seeing the little seedlings poke out of the soil. It's really satisfying to know that I've done something right to be able to create life.
I would watch Over the Garden Wall over and over and over which reminds me...
Well now it's Infinity Train
Both amazing shows! Have you watched summer camp island?
No what's that ? Is it similar?
It's a cute animated show about a magical summer camp. From what I remember it isn't as serious as the other shows, but still very much worth the watch if you can find it
Mushrooms.
They're beautiful, adorable, and delicious.
Boxes. I love boxes. Like old metal ones or decorative stash boxes. Crazy about boxes. Nice ones though. no cardboard.
Trains. Specifically Japanese trains. I lived there about a decade ago and often uses the trains to get to Tokyo or malls on weekend, and have grown to be obsessed with it. From regular passenger trains to Shinkansens (bullet train).
My biggest wish is to be able to live there again. I really miss those times!
Painting miniatures and then playing long swooping campaign games with them. Here’s Deep Rock Galactic: the board game painted up, mid mission:
WE'RE RICH
We’re rich! We’re rich! We’re rich! We’re rich! We’re rich!
EBay deals and thrifting. I can spend hours just looking at different things, seeing how much of a deal it is and not buying it
Art I make (and what tempts me to make it)
The first one reminds me of this guy from Disenchantment. https://disenchantment.fandom.com/wiki/Me-Flavored_Water_Salesman
I have always loved that dude.
Vtubers, I follow too many and sadly end up knowing about drama too.
A lot of things. But specifically this week it's the Lemmy v0.19 upgrade. I'm going through the github release, the various posts on the various instances, gathering every info I can find.

Anything Shiney black. toys, tech, cars, novelties, it honestly doesn't matter. I can't place why it brings me joy, it just does.
This year, mostly GURPS. It's such a delightfully comprehensive TTRPG. If you can think of it, you can do it, and odds are that unless you're thinking of something really out there, it's explicitly outlined in one of the source books. Even if it is really out there, you can probably find several forum posts outlining several ways to run the mechanics.
It's not a perfect reality simulator, but it's good enough for me.
Fans of GURPS, or anyone looking to hear it in action should check out the podcast "the film reroll" (if you haven't already). They play through films as RPGs using GURPS and it's fantastic! They even had the creator of GURPS on once as one of many people playing Leonard in Momento. Also, there are absolutely no adverts.
Fun fact, the original Fallout was first using GURPS before they had to invent SPECIAL.
Mhmm! They had to invent it because Steve Jackson Games wasn't terribly keen on the level of violence in Fallout.
Another fun fact, their 3e Cyberpunk supplement was so convincing that they got raided by the US Secret Service under suspicion of cyber terrorism.
Renovating my home is a hobby of mine, but I can't stand tiny imperfections like walls that aren't perfectly smooth, surfaces that aren't exactly level, and mail-order furniture which isn't quite the same color as it was in the pictures. Usually I can get things just right eventually, but sometimes I have to recognize that doing that would be crazy (i.e. it would require spending tens of thousands of dollars to demolish and rebuild something which everyone else tells me already looks great) and then I get really upset, give up in the middle of the renovation project, and never finish it.
The funny thing is that this level of perfectionism is actually just right for the sort of programming I do at my day job, so work ends up being less stressful than my hobby.
I used to have similar perfectionist perspective in my 20s but then i look at my own skill and reflect on it, it just that i can't reach the perfect that i wanted with my skill, or the situation on hand just doesn't allow that, so right now in my 30s i just do my best and finish a renovation project without second-guessing myself too much. No one gonna scrutinise my own work in my own home other than myself, that sort of perspective change is what work for me.
It's also help when the maker that inspired me also make mistake on camera and teach others how to fix/hide it.
Casio square watches
I’m obsessed with Astro Vans. I love them. I can’t get enough of them. And I own one!

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !aquariums@lemmy.world
That mix up with Holly Jolly Christmas and lil Jon.
